action

Head of Advertising Mauritius Halbermann, known as “Mauts”, has the workload of three employees. Always smoking and over-the-top, he delivers projects to his supervisor Brödel about projects that could be realized in VEB Gravo-Druck. While Brödel supports his colleague's anger at work, Patzig sees the danger that, with three parallel projects, at least two could go wrong at some point. He suggests sending Mauts on vacation to the company's own holiday home in Aaldorp on the Baltic Sea, but Mauts refuses vacation. He'd rather go to a congress.

Mauts' employee Lore, who he has already planned as his future wife, also wants to persuade him to go on vacation. When Mauts leaves for the congress anyway, she, like Brödel and Patzig, goes on vacation to Aaldorp. Mauts returns from the congress with many new ideas, including a manuscript that has already been worked out. Since all contacts are on vacation in Aaldorp, he travels with them with a briefcase and typewriter to use their vacation to discuss the project in detail. In the rush he forgets the manuscript on his desk.

Architect Teddy takes Mauts with him to Aaldorp in the new Trabant . Teddy wants to propose to his great love Lore again and is not happy when he learns from Mauts that he needs Lore to work on his arrival. Both now try to prevent each other from getting ahead, but in the end they get together. Teddy makes the seventh marriage proposal to Lore on arrival and is turned down by her for the seventh time. Mauts first tries to find accommodation, but all beds are occupied. So he first puts his things in Lore's apartment in the holiday home. Her mother is not very enthusiastic about the prospect that her daughter will be forced to work on vacation. Brödel's wife doesn't want to know that her husband should work through plans with an employee while on vacation. When Mauts is finally supposed to show Lore the manuscript, it is missing. He suspects Lore and her mother to have stolen the manuscript. A little later the typewriter is also missing, which the girl Karin mistook for a radio. She notices her mistake and swaps a typewriter for a radio, so that Mauts soon begins to believe in witchcraft.

Under Mauts' papers there is also a folder with blank paper. Mother Fiedler gives it to playing boys who use it to build paper boats. Mauts later sees the empty folder and believes that his manuscript is now floating like a boat in the Baltic Sea. He hastily organized a boat and took the nurse Marianne on board to pick up the boats. Her daughter Ute hands Marianne over to Karin, who a short time later leaves the child in the care of Teddy. Mauts and Marianne collect the paper boats until late in the evening, and their oar is lost. Mauts is amazed that the paper is empty, as he wrote on it. Again he thinks it's haunted. Mauts and Marianne only drive to the shore at night and spend the night in the open air. The next morning Marianne has already gone to Aaldorp, where she finds Ute with Teddy. After sleeping in the great outdoors, Mauts is finally discovering how relaxing a holiday can be. Although his secretary, Ms. Haschke, has meanwhile sent the manuscript to Aaldorp by express mail, Mauts is no longer interested in it, even though he initially believes in magic again when he finds the papers in his jacket into which he had tucked the blank pages. He apologizes to Lore for his behavior and both not only spend the vacation together, but also get engaged. Teddy, in turn, has found a new friend in Marianne.
